With a feeling of great accomplishment, I announce... I finished my 100 movies on time - and with over a week to spare! My teaching practicum and subsequent substitute teaching kept me busy enough to not even think to update this blog as I went along, but now that those are complete I can share here what I've got.

It's been so long now since I've seen some of these that I hardly think I can give a fair judgement to many of them. Despite all my practice this year, I'm still horribly bad at remembering details of movies! Overall, though, I saw some great films (like To Kill A Mockingbird, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Argo); some pretty mediocre ones (The Watch, Bad Teacher, Made); some I can't believe I hadn't watched until now (The Goonies, Galaxy Quest, Little Shop of Horrors); some that made me think (Bully, Vegucated, Waiting for Superman); some that I shamefully enjoyed a lot (Magic Mike, THEM!, Clueless); some that others love, but I found to be a disappointment (Primer, Puss in Boots, Looper); and some that I'll definitely watch again (Pitch Perfect, The Usual Suspects, How to Train Your Dragon).
What a great year of movies! Should I do it again...?
